Plus, this is indexed as a villain trope. I think that means being a villain is a qualification.

As a Family Guy fan, I\'ll have to oppose Peter as well. Comparing him to Clay and Cartman doesn\'t work. Clay stopped being played for laughs at the end of the second season, with several episodes dedicated to showing what a monster he is, while the entire point of Cartman is your supposed to absolutely hate him, the laughs come from seeing him get what he deserves. Peter is still a good guy, even if he is a DesignatedHero. And while Cartman has had or two PetTheDog moments, Peter has had way too many, what kind of person he is seems dictated by RuleOfFunny, even if the funny part falls flat.
